This isn't the first of the campaign against Starbucks: Earlier this year, we took notice of the new McDonald's site Unsnobbycoffee.com, which touts McDonald's coffee as simple, easy, and unpretentious when compared to Starbucks. The new commercials take this concept one step further. "Now we don't have to listen to jazz all day long!" one woman proclaims in the segment below. Check out the commercial for yourself and tell me: Do you find it funny, or is McDonald's, with its new segments that mock Starbucks, taking its ad campaign one step too far?

haha...oh mcdonald's. whatevers....if you are a caffeine consumer...you're gonna have a preference. It's not about marketing. It's about taste. And frankly, Mcdonald's iced and flavored coffees are ALL watered down and gross. I'd rather have a latte, iced latte, or a blended drink...and will go out of my way to get it!

Have you tried Starbuck's "salty caramel hot cocoa"? It is to die for!!! Absolutely fabulous! That's my drink on the next trip in. And I do think the commercial is cute. Starbucks should take no offense. They have no worry.

I tried mcdonald's coffee cuz it looked pretty good but was grossly dissappointed. I gave them one more chance but it wasn't any better. I loove starbucks pumpkin spice! mmm...yummy! lol
I know it has nothing to do with the commercial but still, just that I'd share. lol! :)

ohhhh, I just thought they were cute. Still will not make me drink the coffee, but they made me giggle. Being that McDonalds was just gently poking fun at the whole cafe scene, I don't think anyone should take it personally. (Unless maybe you live in coffee shops and fit the stereo type perfectly...)

LOVE. I love the iced coffess. extra- extra of course,a shot of hazelnut and mmmmmm..... xtra xtra is xtra cream,xtra sugar for you non-hip folks ;) LOL Just Kidding :)
I would wear heels anywhere I went if I had them on already :)But I see your point :)

well, I've commented twice on this commercial on Savvy Sugar, but I'll say it here--this is ridiculous. First, because Starbucks is hardly an intellectual place--it's just as ordinary and commercial as McDonalds. Sorry, but there are no shelves full of books at any Starbucks I've been to. Second, making fun of knowledge is disgraceful. Third, why would someone wear heels to McDonalds?

I love this commercial because my roommate is from paraguay and we laughed SO HARD when we saw this as for the statement that it makes about the actual coffee,Starbucks gets expensive and mcdonalds coffee is a nice ( cheaper) middle ground between starbucks and gas station poo-water

How dare you guys to "think/read", love something more complicated than "Turkey in the hay" and have more than one pair of underwear? Sheesh, you...you....intelectuals!
Seriously, there should be a law like in Australia, were they are not allowed throw mud at competition when advertising,that's low....no matter how good your coffee is. (or NOT!)

I don't think I could bring myself to drink McDonald's coffee even though it is JUST coffee. I'm just very against fast food places. Plus, I absolutely love Starbucks. I'm not offended, but McDonald's has nothing on Starbucks!!!!

I LOVE the McDonald's commercial with the two guys - "I can shave this thing off my face..." - it's really funny and made me laugh out loud. And as I don't drink coffee at all, I'm not partial to either Starbucks or McDonalds

These have been showing in Seattle for a while now. I, like Tinkerbell, find them insulting. That, and I find that McD's coffee to be extremely gross. Seattle has MUCH better (no, not Starbucks) coffee to offer than that crap.

I drink Starbucks on a regular basis. I tried to drink McDonald's coffee awhile back and was horrified. The iced coffee is pretty good but the regular coffee is dreadful. Trying to tap into Starbuck's market is just bad considering that their coffees are not even close to each other on the taste level. Who cares if its much cheaper, if it doesn't taste good? That's actually a waste of a $1.50! This commercial has actually given me a hankering for Starbucks.
